Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in GOOLE, DN14 0AE. The property offers 119m² (1281 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (22/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2616, comprising £2139 for heating, £375 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 22.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2016 for £165,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
